The Trump Administration Is Undercutting Our Ability to Track Climate Change

WESTERN UNITED STATES, JUL 7 – Human-caused carbon emissions have doubled large wildfires since 1984, increasing risks in vulnerable areas like the wildland-urban interface, scientists report.

  • The Trump administration dismantled U.S. climate monitoring by dismissing experts and removing key national climate data and websites in 2023 and beyond.
  • This action stemmed from a shift to elevate fringe climate dissenters within the Energy Department and proposed 2026 budget cuts eliminating weather and climate research funding.
  • Consequently, key initiatives such as NOAA’s efforts to track carbon levels and the federal program studying climate change impacts have experienced disruptions, hindering access to essential scientific information used by planners and educators.
  • The November 2023 National Climate Assessment reported U.S. warming nearly 2°F since the late 19th century and documented rising extreme weather events, citing increased risks to agriculture, water, and health.
  • These developments undermine U.S. capacity to address climate impacts while other countries accelerate research, suggesting weakening national preparedness and influence in global climate efforts.
